For consideration a subject related to zapping tenure, the disparagement of
research under the
rubric that it undermines or undervalues teaching, see the article titled
"Slouching Toward Scholardom" in the most recent College English. The
distrust of academics runs high in our country's political and social
climate. This onset of a new millenium jitters, coupled with an always
present back to basics movement and a government made fiscally bankrupt
by equal parts speculation and deficit spending, creates a firmanment of
idelology for these kinds of extreme moves.
